LILLIAN'S POV

"Hold her tight Sheila, I need to see the foot of this cliff first" In a hush command, Mike said.

"Why checking, let's just throw her there. If anyone sees us, we're dead"

"But Sheila...."

"Throw her Dr Mike.... No one at the hospital knows she's your wife, she doesn't have a family either, if we throw her down this cliff, then our secret will die here with her"

My heart thumped. My consciousness struggle between life and death, the sedative eating deep into my organs. My eyes snapped open and I saw thier silhouettes, Mike's broad shoulders and Sheila's predatory stance..

What's happening?

I want to talk but my voice is locked.

Mike touched Sheila's arm, "Baby, let's not do this. She's still my wife and her healing powers brought me this far....."

"Then you shouldn't have sedated her!"

Sheila quipped with jealousy and authority. "If you care about her so much, you should have accepted the pregnancy and forget about me"

Mike bends down and lifted my limp form. I pray he didn't notice my consciousness. But when he place me under a tree, he kneels beside me as he pat my head, "Funny that we ended our perfect love life this way, Lillian. All thanks to you, no one knew I was an Omega, including Sheila. If you had listened to me, things won't come to this..... But thanks for everything" His tone cracks, smothered with a little guilt. "Goodbye, Lillian"

Sheila scoffed. "What are you still blabbering about? Is it so sad to see her die then you shouldn't have...."

"Sheila!" Mike snapped. "At least respect the dead"

The dead? How come? I try moving again but the drug burned down my veins, paralyzing every cell.

Then he stood up and left.

In the forest by the cliff, Mike left my body for wild animals, Sheila hissed and then their footprints disappeared.

Not too long after, Sheila came back, probably in a hurry and then bents down beside me and then touched my body, "Think you're a healer? The most respected trait of our kind?" She unshethed a dagger. "Just Incase you're to come back in your next life with this face.... At least you won't be pretty alongside being a healer"

I want to yell, escape or even fight back but all my body is numb. I only wait until she brings down the dagger and scar my face.

She laughed maliciously, "Now I've finally fulfilled my wish of destroying your face"

Mike called her and she jumped up and run away.

The pain in my entire body is unbearable, but the worse thing is the pain in my soul, bleeding and shattered.

I was discarded on the ground like trash, on the edge of a precipice, my consciousness nearly slipping away from the pain Sheila just inflicted on me. Only if I can heal myself like I heal others.....

Why... Why.... I ask the goddess from my mind wishing she could hear me.

***

"How did a vampire fall down like this? I think they're more powerful than us?" I heard a hushed voice speak.

“Hussh...! Stop talking nonsense"

“Her power hasn't been activated yet. Perhaps that’s why she’s so weak”

“Get the minivan ready, let's take her to the hospital”

Strong arms picked me from the ground and a sharp metallic scent of blood hit my nose. A primal clawing inside of me, but my eyes stayed sealed, my limbs weak.

The minivan roars into life and I was held protectively by that strong pairs of hand.

I don't know why I can hear them but I was unable to open my eyes, still I stay quiet and the car roared into life. But as he tried steadying me, my body only continue to rage in fire the more. A raw insatiable hunger gnawed at me and I carve nothing but BLOOD!

My eyes snapped open, meeting a pair of blue eyes.

"Hey, what happened to you? Are you awake?" He asked but my mind is on fire.

Calm down Lillian, you'll be fine. I keep saying to myself but I'm not fine.

The man held me with one hand while he keeps hurrying his driver.

Soon, the car stops and I'm carried out from the car.

I don't know about my environment but all I can see is the movement of veins as it swims in blood on the necks of everyone rushing at me.

"What happened to her?"

"This way Alpha"

When I was finally placed on a bed, doctors circled me but I couldn't say a word. The doctor loaded an injection that sets fear to my heart, making me remember Mike but I was held down by other doctor and despite the struggling from my mind, he injected me.

Tear fall from my eyes. Is he going to kill me again?

Suddenly, a sharp metabolic scent of blood hit my nose and immediately, I felt thirsty and my blood becomes very hot. So hot that it only increased the pain I was feeling and I feel I was dying.

The thirsty intensified more than when I was in the car and I don’t know why or how it happened, the next thing I did was to jump from the bed I was lying on and my rush at the doctor standing with a tray.

I ignored the pain and let my instincts lead me untill and then aim for his neck but others came for me and held me back.

"Get the jar!!" I heard them scream.

A liquid substance was rushed to my mouth. I don't know what it was, but it tastes good and my hunger and thirst quenched and that's all I know before passing out again!!!

****

My eyes fluttered open to a strange environment.

I turned my head and realized that I'm in a hospital!

Hospital? The word hospital and the white walls and the scent suddenly haunt my mind.

I wanted to stand up and dash away but my body is too heavy to move.

“You're awake?” a deep masculine voice spoke suddenly beside me, and I saw an angel.... No a demi god looked up from the book in his hand..

I tried to speak, but for some reason, I couldn't, as if my vocal cords refused to work.

“Don’t strain yourself”

“You…” I want to say but I don’t think I could form any words as my throat was heavy as if a lump of morsel was closing it.

“Shhh…” He placed a finger on his lips signifying that I should not talk, “You can’t regain your voice just yet. The doctor said your vocal cords has been impaired because of the wounds" he explained with a troubled expression.

And then, through my foggy mind, I remembered everything.

The first thing I did was reach for my belly, trying to sit up despite the dizziness and searing pain.

“Don’t move! Wait, calm down, calm down!” he stopped me and eased me back down, but I needed to know desperately if a miracle had occurred or I was dead already.

I looked at him intensely and then at my stomach, wrapped in thick bandages.

“Yes… I understand what you're asking, but… I'm sorry… your belly was completely torn. The doctor said you was injected with Wolfsbane and that's why your belly is in a bad condition and since the injection was placed unprofessionally, it affected your vocal cords, it's a thank goodness that you're still alive after all that"

I felt the tears pouring uncontrollably from my eyes. I just remembered the hellish pain now. I wanted to ask him what sort of water they gave me but my voice refused to unlock.

So I accepted my fate in pure agony, my soul shattering.

My lips trembled, my entire body shook, and ragged sobs escaped my torn throat.

Why did this have to happen me? Why did everything around me have to turn into a nightmare? My baby was innocent but he was the one that suffer the burns of it before coming to life.

The man pulled the duvet that I'd yanked of back and smiled, "Anyway, I'm Lucian. I picked you while hunting near Rave pack woods and here is called Ember pack..... We'll talk about how you get there when your voice returns, but first, you have to rest"

My heart thumped with fear. Ember pack... Lucian.... If I'm right then he's Indeed the infamous Alpha Lucian! The devil's twin brother?

I looked up to him. Fearfully as if to ask if what I assumed is right and he was smiling so beautifully, like a demi god and his silver hair and blue eyes......

Damnit Lillian! Is this the time to ogle?
